Designers decorate elephants for charity

If you find yourself seeing elephants throughout London next week then don't panic - they're really there. 260 life-sized baby elephants are set to be displayed across the capital from 4th May, from Buckingham Palace to the South Bank, and all in the name of charity.

Each statue has been decorated by a familiar face from the world of fashion or art - keep your eyes peeled and you may be able to spot a creation by Diane von Furstenberg, Alice Temperley (pictured), Issa, Paul Smith, Lulu Guinness or Alberta Ferretti.

The eye-catching pieces will remain in the city until July, and then they'll all be auctioned off tho the highest bidders. The money raised will be donated to 15 different conservation charities working in Asia to protect the habitat of the elephants there.
